    In the US jeans are the standard uniform. Unless there’s a dress code, everyone wears jeans. Unless you’re at Walmart, then you’ll see many people, women especially, who are wearing sweat pants, younger ones in pajamas! Yes, people wearing pajamas in public.

    Most of the supermarkets here banned people from shopping in their nightwear as it was starting to catch on.

    Next they need to ban fat women with huge saggy arses from wearing skin tight leggings! (do these creatures actually realise what they look like? )

    Spitting on the pavement should be a capital crime. I think we should sort that out first before we turn on the fat chicks

    That would thin the numbers out round here. Town centre would be deserted.

But when I was in the USA a few years back old geezers in their 80's were always in jeans (and baseball caps) and it looked perfectly normal, cool even.
    As ever with these things, it's how you carry it off, and some folk can do it better than others (much like with beards and ponytails). One thing that helps, is if the jeans concerned actually FIT properly.

    I've seen lots of old guys wandering around in jeans three sizes too big for them, so not only is the arse all baggy, but of course the waist is slacker than a whore's vag... Not to worry, that's easily solved by strapping yourself in, sausage-like, with a nice belt!

    Plus, at the other end, the legs are WAY too long, so the answer there of course is to have 6-inch turn ups, then pop on a pair of suit shoes!!

    Perhaps an idea would be to buy the right size in the first place?

    Anyway, never mind jeans on OAPs, what about SHORTS, ably displaying boney legs covered in an unsightly network of varicose veins??

    Shorts on a man are unacceptable unless you are on holiday in another (hot) country. Or in the military on a tropical posting.

    I know blokes who can't wait to put shorts on as soon as the sun peeks out and then keep them on until October. What is the fascination? It's never hot enough here for them to be necessary and anyone over the age of 12 looks like a complete dick in them.
